The source builds the following binary packages:
nvidia-vaapi-driver - VA-API implementation that uses NVDEC as a
backend.
I am the uploader of nmu package before, I will adopt this package
cause the original maintainer does not respond to ITA in about 50 days.
In short, it is a translation layer to run hardware video decode
acceleration on nvidia graphics card.
We have several video encode/decode api on Linux like VA-API, VDPAU,
NVDEC and etc. However, Firefox and Chromium are designed to support
VA-API mainly, while VA-API is limited to Intel and AMD.
Hardware video acceleration is quite important for mobile device when
playing 4K/8K videos. And this package provides hardware video
acceleration on Firefox for nvidia users.
